The past 10 years are hard to sum up. For one, this blog didn’t exist 10 years ago. That’s pretty nuts to think about. So, first and foremost, I would like to thank you for reading and following along. My life has been forever changed by the readers of this blog. I’m incredibly grateful for you.

Within a span of 10 years, I became a mother twice over, a business owner, an influencer, a homeowner twice over, a single woman, a design award winner, an account manager, a stylist, an art director, a creative director and a believer.

I could list all of my losses and accomplishments here, but it all means nothing compared to the freedom and inner strength that I have found through my faith in God. I know discussing religion is taboo, but when the rubber meets the road and you are faced with hard questions like your purpose in this life and what 10 years of life truly means, you have to dig deep, really deep.

Through faith, I’ve learned how loved I am regardless of my accomplishments. Through faith, I’ve learned how beautiful I am regardless of society’s standards. Through faith, I have learned how much purpose I have regardless of how many people know my name. Through faith, I have learned that this life is much more than my own.

2020 will bring joy and loss for everyone. That’s a fact because that’s life. My hope though is that through whatever is to come that I stand firm in my faith, carry peace in my soul and create it wherever I go, and continue to experience the depths of love by receiving and giving it to others. That’s my prayer and hope for the next ten years of my life regardless of the goals, hopes and dreams I have in my heart.
